That's a strange patch, they don't normally have a bottom rocker at all.
Those pagans believe in Angels though, and really really don't like them.
Well, lets be honest. I just googled it and took the 1st post w/o people in it.
Celebrated the solstice with a fire in the wood stove, roasting marshmallows on said fire and whiskey. Didn’t have any yule to burn though, mostly maple. Thanks to this thread for reminding me.
I wished a geezer happy holidays once. Old man whiney and pissy "it's okay to say merry Christmas" I told him I wanted everyone to have a nice holiday, as well as, but not limited to Christian's.
While I'm not specifically religious, I really love it when someone of any belief system wishes me a Happy [insert holiday here]. It makes me feel accepted and welcomed. I make it a point to attend every Sukkot, Yule, or Mi'raj celebration I get invited to.
But when one specific religion says that their seasonal greeting is under attack, I just kinda chuckle and say Happy Festivus.

Gotta love a holiday where the traditional gift is a stick.

Let us welcome the returning sun with hope and joy.

Blessed be.
Thank you! The days get longer and the hope gets brighter. Peace to you, friend.

If I know what someone's faith is, I'll wish them an applicable greeting. But if I don't know, I'll which then a happy holidays. Because whatever you believe or don't believe, I want you to have a nice season. Even if your a terrorist, I want you to have a nice season. Maybe if you have a nice season you won't feel compelled to blow yourself up.
